Manufacturers of reverse trikes do a lot of development of electronic stability systems that are required to prevent spin-outs at or beyond the limits of traction.  For that reason I wouldn't consider a DIY reverse trike, even if it could be made to look attractive.

Gary, I don't have a need for it, but the workmanship sure would be interesting to do a close-up on. I live in the Orlando area so a bit far for me to leave for an extended period to visit. I've been restoring an old '84 Standard Wing which also looks a bit different from the original.  cooldude

Endeavor trikes, who is on this board periodically, is manufacturing and selling front trike conversions for Valks, Goldwings and other brands, pretty nice units that I have seen. Much nicer looking than the one pictured in this thread, although that one pictured may work just fine.  He built a new wing for a friend of mine ,and it is pretty nice.   Hoser  Smiley

The front end is from a VW Beetle. Not the new Beetle but one of the older ones with the ball joint type front end. It's a stable front member for the sand rails we built but I have no idea how it would handle as it's being used here.
